Found Snail!

[danele]

Can anyone help?
Ive found a baby snail, its hard to know what it is as it's only 2.5mm big, it's clear and brown in colour and the shell is round.
Would it be a good snail to have? Or should i avoid it?
Thankyou in advance

P.s must have come with a plant i recently got.

Yes, they often come in plants, it's probably a bog standard pest snail. If it is just one you are lucky. If it is two, be prepared for gazillions of offspring. They will take over your tank(s). I remember how excited I was when I had the first in a plant, but now I am regularly picking them out and erm crushing them. There are so many!

Its in a jug at the minute, was planning on some snails but wanted trumpet ones to be honest.
If there is more in the tank, would this be a problem for the trumpet snails?

It won't be problem for any trumpets you add; I have a mix of snail species in most of my tanks without problems.

Trumpets are fine with them. I actually got some of those from this forum here (look for a post in the classified section). If you want a nice special snail, have you considered apple snails? They are huge, but great to watch, better than those pesty ones.

Definitely dont want a big one!
I'll get my trumpet snails next week, the pest snail can go in the garden
Hopefully it was just him.
